The WP Fastest Cache WordPress plugin before 1.2.2 does not properly sanitise and escape a parameter before using it in a SQL statement, leading to a SQL injection exploitable by unauthenticated users.
CVE-2023-6063
Score elevated to 8.7 because EPSS predicts 74% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.6% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.5 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 74%
- Public exploit code is available (Metasploit, epss top5pct, epss high, public exploit)
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
